The main roast comes with all the traditional sides like parsnips, carrots and Brussels sprouts

“After afternoon tea, they open gifts on Christmas Eve, as is the German tradition. Christmas morning, the family eats a hardy breakfast before heading off to church.

“After church, that’s when they have a big lunch that includes a salad with shrimp or lobster, and a roasted turkey, and all of your traditional side dishes like parsnips, carrots, Brussels sprouts and Christmas pudding with brandy butter for dessert.”

As in many households around the UK, the menu for Christmas day doesn’t change and is the same year after year.

After everyone has finished tucking into their food, the royal family gathers to watch the Queen’s Christmas speech.
